- Primarily utilized in gynecological and obstetrical surgical procedures to pull back heavy tissue and optimize clinical visibility
Uses
- Vaginal Hysterectomy Exposure:
- Extensively used during vaginal hysterectomies to retract the vaginal walls, providing the surgical team with an unobstructed view of the cervix and uterine ligaments
- Pelvic Floor Reconstruction:
- Helps displace thick muscle and connective tissue layers during pelvic organ prolapse corrections or anterior/posterior repairs
- Deep OB/GYN Access:
- Safely moves heavy pelvic tissue aside in deep vaginal or lower abdominal entries, allowing surgeons to securely dissect or ligate blood vessel
Features
- Premium German Stainless Steel:
- Forged by skilled craftsmen from high-grade German stainless steel, ensuring the rigidity needed to handle heavy muscular tension without flexing
- Specific Blade Dimensions:
- This variant is explicitly configured with a 1-1/8 inch wide by 1-7/8 inch deep (29mm x 47mm) right-angle blade, engineered for shallow to medium-depth pelvic cavities
- Elongated Handle Profile:
- Built with an overall length of 10-1/2 inches (26.7cm), giving the surgical assistant plenty of reach to keep their hands clear of the active operative field
- Hooked Ergonomic Grip:
- Features a curved handle with an integrated hook loop at the bottom, offering an anchored pull grip for consistent manual traction
Benefits
- Trauma-Free Retraction:
- The flat, meticulously smooth blade profile spreads structural pressure evenly over a wide tissue surface area, preventing bruising or tearing of vascular pelvic mucosa
- Exceptional Deep-Tissue Control:
- High structural leverage and the hooked handle reduce hand fatigue for surgical assistants holding manual retraction over prolonged operative periods
- Lifetime Material Longevity:
- Resistant to staining, chemical degradation, and rusting. It is fully reusable and built to survive thousands of high-temperature autoclave sterilization cycles without dulling or warping
